Roller Coaster Rides and Let's Talk About You Do.

Hey guys, this weekend has been one hell of a roller coaster ride. I've been up, I've been down, I've been left and right. I've been ecstatic, I've been sad, I've been happy, I've been moody, I've squealed in laughter, I've broken down in tears, I've screamed in orgasmic delight and I've sulked in discontent. It's been all sorts, but what's important is that right now, I'm good. The roller coaster isn't over yet but I think I'm approaching a stable pace and normality would soon be restored.

Yesterday while on the part of the roller coaster that had me in tears my phone rang, it was an international call and the code had me thinking it was my elder brother so I immediately answered the phone. The minute I heard a lady's voice I was torn between hanging up and speaking. Then she called me Thelma and I knew it was someone from the blog and that minute I wished I hadn't taken the call. You see, the water works were on and I didn't know how to turn them off. The blog reader, who was a first time caller was momentarily confused. I could imagine her thinking ok, maybe calling wasn't such a good idea after all. Then she asked "Thelma are you ok?" And there was so much concern and kindness in her voice and you know how it is when you're crying and someone starts to "pity" you, you only cry more. LOL. Oh my! I felt so many ways but embarrassed was the greatest of all, worse yet was that I couldn't say any words, anytime I tried to speak more tears would come and eventually I was able to mutter a few almost incomprehensible words, telling her I'd call back.

Dearest K you sound like such a kind person and I'm so sorry about all of that. I was sooooooooo embarassed!

So, about the roller coaster, some day it would be a part of my memoir, for now it's still too fresh and things are still too raw. But I am so lucky to have a strong support system and the ability to heal fast. As Johnie Walker says; Keep Walking.

And that's about that.

Some days ago I asked a blog reader how he had been and he replied my mail saying things were good and his side hustle as a home tutor is going well. For some reason I was fascinated. It's like, when you meet someone one of the first questions you ask is "what do you do?".

I'm curious to know what my readers do. I know someone heads the legal department in a multinational, another heads Human Resources in her company, Uyi is in the movie business... Ok. I know what some of us do but I'm curious about everyone else. Guys what do you do?

If you're a student what's your course of study and what level are you in now?

Post-graduate; how's study going?

Graduate; what line of work are you in? How are things looking for your career?

Self-employed; What business do you do? Do you offer any services? Yes? Then why don't you tell us about it and maybe even advertise your business.

Unemployed; what are you doing to stay busy and keep yourself occupied, and make some bucks?

Stay at home mum?

You guys know practically everything about me, I think I deserve to know what you do, don't you?

Thank you!

Ps; if I haven't replied to your mail it's because I've been inundated with stuff. I'm very sorry and will attend to them soon.

I'm a filmmaker a talent manager. Hmmmm... I miss the blog. I've been shattered so much happened to me in one night! I just can't keep it in again, I just want to let it out and have people know it happened. Prosecution is out of the question. No one will believe me because he has always been that matured friend who is twice my age and looks out for me. Infact we had just concluded a business partnership plan that will sky rocket my career! I trusted him and he abused me in the most mean way possible. My body hurts and I have a bruise on my forehead that I have to explain. Hmmmm... Do I tell bae? Naaa... I don't want pity from him but I just don't like keeping things from him. My eyes hurt already, no more tears to, he thinks he has just tamed me. Oh my I never knew he was in this 50 shades thing. I didn't mind me crying and begging, Infact it awakened the beast in him. And then he locked me up and seized my clothes till morning.I still can't believe it happened to me, and from HIM! even my friends wld think I'm hallucinating shd I tell them. He even wanted to used the teaser gun on me after the handcuffs.

Sorry dear, are you sure there's no one you can call? Or go to the hospital and get a rape kit. Don't think no one will believe you, there are many organisations that help women who have been violated. If you let him get away with this crime, its only a matter of time before he finds another victim.

At least go and see a doctor and get yourself checked out. Pele. It is well with you.

Thanks Sunshine, reporting him is the last thing I want to do really, because currently, there's a popular rape case going on, where the lady has been mocked and abused by society because, the rapist is respected celebrity. In this case that was their first time meeting. The victim has currently withdrawn the case due to that but the state is still prosecuting him. So you see, I'm afraid of this, my career, my family, my relationship. And yes I've been to the hospital, thanks again.

Take it easy babe, so sorry, I know that even if the arms of the law cannot get him, there is something else waiting for him ahead that he can definitely not escape from, the evil of the wicked would always come upon their heads! BB,about telling your friends, I'm not so sure about that.. I think the best would be to seek proper help with some of this organizations who are in tune with issues like this.

There is a blog visitor who has commented below, Rhapsody, says she deals with issues like this, maybe we could start from there.

Amazing Story Shared by Dr. Ben Carson on Facebook, i thought it is inspiring and i decided to share;

The Australian ex-model Turia Pitt suffered burns to 65 per cent of her body, lost her fingers and thumb on her right hand and spent five months in hospital after she was trapped by a grassfire in a 100 kilometre ultra-marathon in the Kimberley. Her boyfriend decided to quit his job to care for her recovery. Days ago, in an interview for CNN they asked him: "Did you at any moment think about leaving her and hiring someone to take care of her and moving on with your life?"

His reply touched the world:

"I married her soul, her character, and she's the only woman that will continue to fulfill my dreams."

*** This made me very reflective. I just wonder; if the person you love today encounters an incident or accident that transforms who they are physically, it could be amputation, it could be paralysis, it could be severe burns that scald their flesh beyond recognition, w…

Good morning people! Just checking in to sign the register. Lol. It's been a very busy week and it looks like it might be an even busier weekend. I was hoping to get some writing done when I got to the airport yesterday but I even almost missed my flight. It was hopeless trying to do any work on the plane as it was bumpy af, and this toddler behind me wouldn't stop screaming in piercing shrieks like he was being exorcised. I got into town pretty late and needed to keep an appointment ASAP. I'm heading out right now and it's going to be a long day, but thought I should drop this first. Have a splendid day. Im'ma be back soon.

He was my coursemate, crush, then my boyfriend.... he was superintelligent, smart, tall, dark and handsome. Believe me he gotswag, but he didn't seem to notice me. (I'm a nerd but a sassy oneif I say so myself). So oneday I decided to take it to another level.. After listening to a song "IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY TELL THEM THAT YOULOVE THEM and watching the season film of The Secret Life ofAmerican Teenagers. ..when Amy Jeugerns mum told her "you are onlyyoung once". LOL that part got me. Hope you know what i mean?

A side chick is commonly known as a mistress or a woman that’s romantically involved with a man who is in a committed relationship. However after doing some reflecting, I realize that’s not the only type of side chick. I want to discuss “the new side chick”–a woman who decides to stay by a man’s side after he has expressed his lack of relationship intentions with her through his words or actions. So many women have made this mistake at least once in their lifetime, and unfortunately I’ve done the same thing. I like to think of the new side chick as an appetizer. You’re there just to satisfy the immediate appetite of the man, but as soon as that mouth-watering entrée comes out to the table, you will get pushed to the side, literally. Why? Because that entrée is what he really wanted; he went to the restaurant to order steak, not hot wings. You were just a placeholder, fling, temporary commitment, or maybe even just a “good ol time” until what he really wanted was presented to hi…

I'm in an amebo mood tonight. Don't ask me, I honestly don't know why. Also I'd like to share too but I'd do that anonymously in the comment section. Tonight I want to talk about secrets. It's ok, we can all be anonymous. Is it true that EVERYBODY has a secret? Is there anyone here who doesn't have a secret? I'd really like to know; You're a completely open book and there's not ONE thing about you that you wouldn't mind other people knowing about? Please raise your hands up. And for the rest of us, what's something about you that no one knows, or very few people know? Who's got a dark secret here, or a weird one, or a funny one even? I really don't mean to be invasive but I don't want to be the only one sharing, plus I think hearing other people's secrets is quite fun, don't you think?

Hey guys, a while back blog reader F said something about creating an Open Keypad post, where you can write whatever you want in the comment section. I thought it was a fun idea!
So who is interested? Comment on anything you feel like, ask me or anyone a question, talk about how your day went, your job, your interests, tell us something about you that we don't know, share a testimony with us, rant about anything you feel like, talk about your crush/boo/spouse/relationship/marriage, challenges you're facing, ANYTHING AT ALL!
I'll only make one request; that we stay civil.

(F it was you who made this suggestion, right? I'm not too sure and I can't even remember the post the comment was made on).
BTW please Ejoeccome out come out, wherever you are!

TTB readers doesn't this tweet below remind you of something? That mail that someone sent me a few weeks back. But why on earth should a man sleep with his son's fiancé? But what am I saying, some men even sleep with their daughters...

Oh well, I'm throwing the question to you. What has happened in your life that you never saw coming, you never hesperred it, you never imagined could happen, you never imagined could happen to you?
It could be good, it could be bad, it could be ugly. Do tell!
And it can be more than one. Let me tell you a few.
-owning a blog
-week long dry fast at Prayer City (I never hesperred it).
-staying in an (emotionally) abusive relationship.
The others require anonymity. LOL. Now over to you.
